That was never an issue for me.
It is not prone to leaking.
Greetings,br>Unfortunately, no.br>Thank you,babyhaven
I'm not sure, but it appears to be a good product; the trick is to fill it halfway with boiling water before adding anything warm. It is expected to last five years. Warm for six hours. Use ice and water to keep warm, and vice versa to keep cold.
Selected User Reviews For Thermos Foogo Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel 10-Ounce Food Jar, Pink/Purple
Man, I trusted the Thermos brand so much that when I was in Japan, I purposefully chose Thermos over other brands despite the fact that some of the other brands had better features. Even after all these years, my coffee thermos (made in Malaysia) is still going strong. Even though I was holding it in frigid weather while walking around the neighborhood, the coffee was still hot three hours later. br>However, when I needed a small container to pack lunch for my child, I went with Thermos once more. This one, boy, is a huge letdown. The workmanship is of Chinese origin. It's obvious. Because the gasket is so badly deformed, I'm concerned about the vacuum job if they put it on. (Based on the feedback, this appears to be a more common issue than not. ) ) I'm sorry for not reading them before placing my order. It'll be returned to the sender.
I received this and found it to be defective, so I'm waiting for a replacement in the hopes that the new one will work. br>br>When I opened the lid, I discovered that the rubber seal is broken; I've attached photos so that everyone knows what to look for before using it, as this is most likely the source of leaking that some reviewers have reported. br>br>I'll keep you updated as soon as I have a replacement.
Is it leak-proof? Check. Is it possible to keep food warm until lunchtime? Check. Is it simple to keep clean? Check. According to the package, it isn't dishwasher safe, so I haven't tried it, but it's so simple to clean that I'm not going to risk it. Even spaghetti's "stain" adheres to the plastic. Just keep in mind that this is a KIDS' game. It isn't a massive thermos designed to hold an entire can of Campbell's Select soup. Half a can of spaghetti is easily accommodated.
For over three years, I've had five of these for my family, with the majority of them being used by elementary school students. They're all still in great shape, with no signs of mold or damage. I take out the gasket and put all three pieces in the dishwasher. Because one of them got some water in there, I believe I've even removed the bottom colorful plastic piece. They've been dropped without denting and had food left in them once or twice over the weekend, and they've still come clean and mold-free. My children claim that their lunch is still warm. I used to fill the thermos with hot water, cover it, and then dump it out when the hot food was ready, but I haven't done that in a long time, and the food is still warm. When they eat it, it'll be extremely hot. I'm so happy with this product; it's definitely stood the test of time! Because Thermos has been around for so long, I had faith in their quality, and this product delivered.
Although I already had a set of Ware stainless steel round tiffins, I decided to add this to my lunch kit collection. It fits well in my tactical bag (UTG tactical, which is comparable to a Maxpedition Versipak one model up from the Fatboy), but it should also fit well in the Maxpedition Thermite Versipack I recently purchased on Amazon. com. Easy to use with a wide mouth and no food waste. br>br>Update 10/27/2012: br>I've been using this product for a while and thought I'd update my review. I fill this jar with piping hot water to pre-heat it before putting hot foods in it. the jar should be warm; This keeps the food warm until I'm ready to eat it for lunch. If I'm going to use the jar for cold foods, such as a small salad, I'll put it in the freezer while I'm making the cold foods. Even when I don't have time to eat the food, it remains cold all day. There are many excellent products on the market, but the smaller 10 ounce size suits my needs. br>br>UPDATE 12/6/2014: br>I still use this container for everything from hot food to cold food to the hot tea I make before leaving the house. It hasn't lost any quality or function. Amazing. I've thrown this container around a lot (not washing it right away, stuffing it at the bottom of my ruck under heavy gear), but it's still brand new. I'm glad I purchased this small item. For me, this is the ideal size.
As a result, it simply sits and molds. I'm curious as to what it's purpose is and whether I can simply get rid of it. If all it does is keep the thermos from slipping, I can attach four silicon dots. Because I dislike mold on food-related items, I'll give it a one-star rating regardless of how well it performs in the future. br>br>ON A BENEFICIAL NOTE: I poured boiling water into the thermos and tightly closed it to see if it leaked or was difficult to open. To match the top and bottom, I made a mark with the pencil. For an hour, I sat the container on its side on a piece of paper towel. There was no leakage of any kind. I then asked my first-grader to open it (hot water can sometimes suck the top in, making it impossible to open, similar to a new jar of jam). She could easily do it, so I went back over the pencil marks with a permanent marker.
P. My daughter was unable to open the lid when I closed it tightly. As a result, you should refrain from doing so. There isn't any reason for it. br>br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. So I removed the rubber from the bottom, which is surprisingly unsightly (not polished, uneven, etc. ) BUT I now have the option of letting the container dry before reinstalling it. This isn't a major issue.
After about 4 hours, the food is still warm, but not hot, as I had hoped. It's just a metal cannister with a lid; I can't think of any technology that would keep the food warmer than any other aluminum air-tight container. It's possible that a tight cannister will suffice. For the value you receive, it is far too expensive.
I was hoping that the other reviews were correct, and that this would keep my soups hot, or at the very least very warm, to eat. So I did the hot water test, and the water is still hot enough that I would drink it carefully after almost 5 hours, which is fantastic. And that was after I checked it several times over the course of four hours. So it appears that if I keep it sealed for the full five minutes, my food will be ready to eat and at the proper temperature. br>br>I preheated the jar for a little under 10 minutes with boiling water, not tap water, before pouring in the hot liquid and sealing the jar. Preheating or cooling the jar is necessary in order to keep the food in the desired state. I believe it is better for keeping warm, but I will give it a try in the cold and update my review. Overall, I'm glad I bought two because I'll be able to bring a variety of finger foods for lunch and snacks.
